Millennials Don't Have to Settle for Less Than New

October 10, 2014

The Mid-South housing market has started to rebound and with this recovery has come rising home prices. While this is great news for the overall economy, this is not so great for the first time home buyers. For many of these Millennials – young professionals in their 20’s and early 30’s) entering the housing market for the first time, it can be pretty tough to find an affordable home in good condition in just the right location. At Grant & Co., we have not forgotten these young buyers. Grant has great options for young buyers who are frustrated with looking at used homes that need repairs or are not in the right locations. There is no better condition than new – no needed repairs, no wear & tear on appliances, much more energy efficient than older homes and with a builder’s warranty.  The problem is that most Millennials don’t realize they don’t have to settle for less than new. Grant has not forgotten these first time buyers. Grant builds new homes in Olive Branch, MS in Maplebrook starting at $173,950 – payments are comparable to a nice apartment.  In Trinity Park in Olive Branch, a new home is priced as low as $194,950.  A first time buyer can live in Gwin Farms in Olive Branch right now for as little as $189,950.  All of these homes are eligible for the USDA Rural Housing Finance Program for First Time Buyers – which allows qualified buyers to purchase a new home with no down payment with attractive interest rates. In Bartlett, TN, a new home in Rivercrest can be purchased for a little as $214,950 or in Brookmeade for only $203,950. With Grant & Co., there are still plenty of options for Millennials who are looking for home plans that feature open living spaces instead of stuffy formal rooms and for bathrooms that treat you like royalty with Grant’s exclusive King Spa Shower. Grant has energy efficient homes that help our environment and interior finishings like granite, hardwood and tile.   You can personalize your new home to your life style with a variety of options available in the Grant Design Center. Don’t be discouraged, Millennials, just because prices are rising doesn’t mean that you have to settle for homes that don’t have the features that are important to you. You don’t have to keep throwing your money away on high rent.  Grant has new homes that are designed for you and that are easy to maintain  - with special incentives and finance programs.  For more information, visit our website at http://www.grantnewhomes.com/
